Modern study of the Hospitallers, of other military-religious
orders, and of their activities both in the Mediterranean and in
Europe has been deeply influenced by the work of Anthony Luttrell.
To mark his 75th birthday in October 2007 twenty-three colleagues
from ten different countries have contributed to this volume. The
first section focuses on the crusading period in the Holy Land,
considering the Hospital in Jerusalem, relations with the
Assassins, finances, indulgences, transportation and the careers of
the brothers and knights. The second and third sections move to the
later Middle Ages, when the Hospitallers had their centre on
Rhodes, and military and charitable activities in the East had to
be supported with men and money from the West. The papers in the
second section consider the Hospitallers on Rhodes, relations
between Rhodes and the West and plans for crusades, while the third
section includes papers on the Hospitallers in the Iberian
Peninsula and in Hungary, the territorial administration of the
Order of Montesa in Valencia, a plan to transfer the headquarters
of the Teutonic Order from Prussia to Frisia, and a Hospitaller
reconsideration of warfare and learning on the eve of the council
of Trent. The final paper proposes new definitions and guidelines
for future work on the military-religious orders. The authors
include both well-known experts and younger scholars who promise to
follow in the footsteps of Anthony Luttrell and to continue
research into the Hospitallers and their fellow orders, these
peculiar European communities avant la lettre.

This German-to-English translation of a highly successful book
is a clear, approachable, student-friendly introduction to the
history of the Crusades.
With a long chronological span, from the eleventh to the late
fifteenth century, and with a wide geographical coverage of the
whole of Europe and some of the Middle East, The Crusades is clear,
concise and more wide-ranging than most single-volume works.
Taking recent scholarship into account, and using boxes, case
studies, marginal directions and chronologies, the book is well
laid out and easy to follow, providing a comprehensive overview of
the crusade movement for students at all university levels.

Erstmals werden zwei europaische Grossregionen vergleichend in den
Blick genommen, so dass neue Sichtweisen auf Grenzen und ihre
spezifischen Auspragungen eroffnet werden. Die paarweise Anordnung
der versammelten Beitrage gewahrleistet in besonderer Weise den
Vergleich und verdeutlicht Affinitaten wie Unterschiede zweier
geographisch weit voneinander entfernter Raume: der Iberischen
Halbinsel und Ostmitteleuropas."
